Abstract
There is a common feeling that the apocalypse is not as abstract or far away as it once was (Riederer, 2018; Wallerstein, Collins, Mann, Derluguian, & Calhoun, 2013). This paper will consider two examples of contemporary future thinking: Millennial utopians and preppers/survivalists. While these groups can be seen as symptomatic of left and right political divides, the investigation of these groups is not intended to be representative of the left or the right. Instead, they demonstrate how the theory and praxis of future oriented ideas are found at the fringes rather than at the centre of contemporary socio-political debates. While these groups differ in fundamental ways, they both offer a demonstration of what ‘taking the future seriously’ might look like in the contemporary West. This paper will unpack the utopian and dystopian elements of both movements and decipher their appeal in an age of increased anxiety about the future.
